Post WTB:Sun Visor

My passenger side sun visor recently broke off and I don't want to pay $70 at the dealership (wholesale price).

If anyone here is getting rid of (or knows anyone who has) a gray cloth one with the attachment from the '99 interior, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I've got a matched pair you can have for $40.00 or I can sell you the passenger side for $20.00. I'm in Orlando. Visors are in good shape, there is a little fading on top being exposed to the harsh sunlight down here in Florida.

repair it. simple.

both of mine have broken, and i repaired both. i had to re-repair one because i didn't do it correctly the first time, but both are just fine and one has been fine for over 2 years now. i expect the other one to be just fine too now that i did it correctly.

you need a metal washer from home depot. i don't recall the exact size, but for reference you can take down the sun visor mount and the stock washer should be still held up there, otherwise it fell down into the pillar and can be retrieved with a long grapple tool.

anyways, take the spring that is also found up there and compress it with two very small zip ties, then put it where its suppose to be on the sun visor assembly, then take the washer and put it on top where its suppose to be. bend down the top metal over the washer as much as you can, then smother the top of the washer and sun visor assembly with JB Weld. let dry for a day then remove the zip ties and reinstall into the car.

costs pennies to fix and you retain your stock sun visor.

i had to resort to this method because it was impossible to find good condition visors in the exact same color.
